The Sheriff’s Bomb/Arson Unit is continuing to investigate a deadly fire in the unincorporated area of San Marcos.
Deputies with the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station responded to 2635 North Twin Oaks Valley Road to assist firefighters with a structure fire on Saturday, June 26 just after 1:30 a.m. They found a home and several trailers engulfed in flames.
After the fire was extinguished, the remains of two people were found. One person was located outside a toy hauler travel trailer and the second person was found inside the trailer. The Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause and manner of their deaths, as well as identification of the bodies pending notification of family.
No deputies, firefighters or animals were hurt in the fire.
While the investigation is still in its preliminary stages and things may later change, the Sheriff’s Bomb/Arson Unit does not believe it is a criminal act. At this time, the fire appears to be accidental. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The Sheriff’s Bomb/Arson Unit investigates fires resulting in serious injuries or death.
